PEPE.

Application filed January 14, 1925. Serial No. 2,246.

which prevents moisture and the usual gummy product of pipe tobacco entering into the stem ofth'e pipe and into the smokers mouth.

Furthermore, it provides a pipe which will last indefinitely and the parts that might burn out, that is the direct receiving elements of the tobacco, can be easily replaced. Another object of theinvention is to provide for the cleaning of the ipe when it is filled without removingthe toliacco from the bowl.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which F igure 1 is a side view of the pipe made accordingto my invention. Figure 2 is atop view of the pipe. Figure 3 is a vertical section and Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 in Figure 3. c

Any ordinary form, of stem 10 can be used with the pipe, the stem fitting into the bowl portion and for this purpose' I show a projection 11 on the bowl portion into which a reduced part on the stem can be slid. The stem opening 12- provides a passage to the inside of the shell 13'which forms the main casing or portion of the bowl, the shell 13 in the form shown being cylindrical which-is the preferred form and has the bowl 14 se-- cured thereto by a detachable means, the

drawing showing the screw portion 15 on the enlarged hub 16 of the'bowl, the flange 17 being usually arranged to project to cover the edges of the shell 13 to give the pipe 21.

good finish and also to provide a ready means of grasping the bowl to unscrew it.

Thebowl has openings 18 in the bottom thereof for the passage of smoke. The-thimble 19 is arranged in the shell 13. and projects upward from the bottom and is detachable as by means of the screw-thread 20 and has a flange 21 to extend over the bottom of the shell 13 to close it. The wal "s of the thimble 19 are spaced from the inner face of the shell and the bowl 14 is spaced from the inner wall of the thimble so that the thimble forms a baflie. V

The bowl is projected so that its bottom does not reach the flange 21 so that a charm ber 22 is provided for the accumulation of any grit through the holes 18. The smoke passes into the chamber 22 from the holes 18 and up between the bowl and the thimble,

then over the top "of the thimble and downbetween the thimble and the shell and then out of the stem opening 12, the screwthreaded part 20 extending to a point that is not above the passage 12. This passage provides for a cooling of the smoke, keeps the shell 13 coolfand it provides for a cleaning of the pipe by simply removing the thimble, the bottom of which can be easilycleaned since it is without projections on the bottom being simply a cup-like articleand when it is removed the holes 18 are accessible so that a whisk or any other form of cleaner can be.

forced through them.

If the bowl is to be cleaned it can be relllOVQd readily from the shell and all the parts are of solid build so that they cannot be readily broken nor twisted out of shape by any cleaning 0 eration and are thus designed to last inde nitely.

I claim: A pipe comprising a cylindrical shell with open ends and alateral stem opening at the bottom,- a cylindrical thimble with 'a flange at its closed end, said thimble screwed into the bottom of the shell and having its enclosed part slightly smaller than the inside of the shell and having its flange fitting against the bottom edge of the shell, and a bowl screwed into the top endof the shell- 9 and having a part .within the thimble and slightly smaller than the thimble, the bowl having a flange to extend to form the top rim of the shell, the parts forming a series of annular cylindrical spaces when assembled, and presenting all surfaces subject to easy wiping when separated.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereto set my hand, this 23rd day of 7 October, 1994.;
